QUOTE FOR THE TIMES

---

From a speech at the University of Houston, given by Nobel Peace Prize recipient Rigoberta Menchu:

"Globalization -- the concentration of capitol and the exclusive concentration of communication systems -- affects not only the lives of indigenous peoples, but also affects the lives of poor people of the world. When we speak of free trade, we are not talking about the small and middle commercial sectors of the world, but rather we are speaking of the great monopolies."
